:shield: hardens ownCloud security with brute force protection, 404 detection and strong password enforcement

Security App

The security application currently has 2 features. Brute force protection and strong password enforcement.

Brute Force Protection

It blocks an IP after certain failed login attempts

Strong Password Enforcement

The admin can configure:
    - minimum length of the password
    - enforce upper and lower case characters
    - enforce numeric characters
    - enforce special characters (non-alphanumeric)

It allows you to validate passwords in your own apps by using “OCP\User::validatePassword” event:

\OC::$server->getEventDispatcher()->dispatch(
    'OCP\User::validatePassword',
    new GenericEvent(null, ['password' => $password])
);
